Winners and losers from Giants preseason game vs. Patriots

FOXBOROUGH, Mas.. —Giants players had one last audition for a roster spot in the preseason finale against the Patriots on Thursday night. Some players made the most of the opportunity, while others sealed their fate before Saturday's roster cut-down. Here's a look at the winners and losers from Thursday's game:

QB GENO SMITH: WINNER

Geno Smith

Smith was the biggest winner of the night, as he likely locked up the backup quarterback job with a sharp performance. Smith completed 10-of-11 passes for 111 yards, one touchdown and, perhaps most importantly, no interceptions. Granted he was facing the Patriots' backups, but Smith showed the talent that made him a second-round pick by the Jets in 2013. Smith threw a perfect 25-yard touchdown pass to tight end Matt LaCosse and his lone incompletion hit receiver Roger Lewis in the hands.

DE KERRY WYNN: WINNER

New York Giants v New England Patriots

Wynn always comes through with big plays in the preseason. That continued on Thursday, as he had a 15-yard interception return for a touchdown in the first quarter when he stepped in front of a swing pass. Wynn's roster spot was safe before Thursday night, but another big play removed all doubt.
